This has been so interesting to see all the different colors & print styles. Why the colors were used & how they were printed. Then you throw in fun ways to set the blocks each week!! I have been thoroughly entertained by this weekly history lesson. I have seen the Greek keys pattern, mainly on decorative ribbon. Will be fun to search for this!!

Thank you so much, Barbara, for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us! I look at fabrics in a new way now, with so much more detail and categorization than before, rather than just "I like that one!" :) You should compile all these posts into a book, I would buy it in an instant. This is one of the only "blocks-of-the-months" that I have ever kept up with. I will be sad to see the year come to a close...unless you have something else in store for next year! :)

Can you give me any more details about the quilt with this description under the picture? I have a quilt with this same pattern.Vintage quilt, last quarter of the 19th century.The shade of blue is an excellent clue to a date of about1870-1900 (and even later in eastern Pennsylvania)Thanks!
